DISCUSSmN RELATIVE TO GARBAGE cOLLECTmN FRANCHJBE President Mitchell welcomed the City of Pleasant Hill councilllen. ~ City of Pleasant .Hill Mayor Lenard Grote introduced the councilmen present: John Scaglione am Frank Salfingere (Member of the District Board), stating that two members were unable to attend. Mayor Brote thanked the Board for being placed on the agOnda. Mayor Grote stated that the City was concerned with the garbage fran- chise although it has not come up in the ordinary waT, that each councilman has not had the opporblnity to express his individual opinion, and the City had not made a full study prior to this meeting. The purpose for their asking for the _eting was to get some answers to questions that had come up. President Mitchell stated that the franchising of garbage collection had been of concern to the District for so- time. He stated that at one time garbage franchising was of a political nature causing a shake-up on the District Board. The District Board let the problem ride until the garbage collectors finally determined their boundaries. The Board then felt they were centrally located and more responsive to the people of the area than the Board of Supervisors and finally adopted the Ordinance to franchise the collection of garbage on an administrative basis, not for income. ~ Mayor Grote asked if there was any conflict with the City of Walnut Creek franchising of garbage collection. President Mitchell replied in the negative. Mayor Grote stated that he understood that the District franchise was not for revenue. President Mitchell stated that franchising of garbage collection for revenue had been a political issue in the past. He stated that $1,000.00 per year is charged each collector only for the purpose of covering administrative costs. Mayor Grote asked if it would be a hardship for the District if the City of Pleasant Hill was to set up franchising of garbage collection. 0.5 03 62 184 . President Kitchell answered that the problem had not come up and that it would probably be more of a problem for the collectors. Mayor Grote asked about the collection of clippings and. special collec- tions. PreBident Mitchell Btated that when the Ordinance was adopted the rates in effect at the time were accepted, that mod1f'ication of the Ordinance can be made at any time and the Board would listen to 8.DY' rate problems. Mayor Grote asked if the contractB with the garbage collectors could be te1'lli:nated at any time., . Mr. Bohn, Counsel for the Distriot," Btated that the contract has a five year term. ~ Councilman Scaglione referred to the Zion Report relative to the incor- poration of the City: of Pleasant Hill wh:f.ch stated that fundB could be derived by franchising garbage collection. He a180 Buggested the City of Pleasant Hill should receive the same service as the City of Walnut Creek and at the same rates. Mayor Grote asked if the present contract could be modified as to service and rates. Mr. Bohn, Counsel for the District, replied that the contracts provide for continuing review and the District has tberight to prescribe rules and regulations concerning collections. Mr. C. Terence Ring, Attorney, stated that he was attending the _eting not as a representative of the two garbage collectorB in the City of PleaBant Hill but as a repreBentative of all the collectors in the area. Mr. Ring stated that broader service may require an increase in rates. Mr. Bohn replied that a review of service would require a review of rates. ~ . Mr. Ring stated that the garbage collector under franchise by the City of Walnut Creek was operating within the City at a loss and bad received one increase after review by the City and is again prepared to go to the Walnut Creek City Council for an increase. President Mitchell asked if the City of Pleasant Hill proposed to contest the District's right of franchise. Mayor Grote asked whether or not if the City of Pleasant Hill requested the District to turn the franchising of garbage collection oftr to the City, it would be done. Mr. Bohn, Counsel for the District, questioned whether the District could, legally, do this without the consent of all of the parties to the contract. Mr. Scaglione questioned the Board as to changes for improved service at the time the franchise was entered into, and suggested litigation for con- trol to see what coaldbe worked out. Mayor Grote asked if a request to the District to relinquish its rights along with the concurrence of the contractors could result in a friendly sui t for both to determine the legal status. Mr. Bohn, Counsel for the District, repliedftes, if the problem came up that would require it." ~ ACCEPTANCE OF EASEMENT FROM THE .ern OF WALNUT CRIll Continued to May 17, 1962. 0::» 03 62 185 VI.
